Mornings are spent on critiques and discussions of images created the day before, as well as lectures and demonstrations. Afternoons are devoted to group and solo assignments, working with male and female models on location in some of San Miguel’s enchanting private gardens, homes, and selected public spaces.

October 26 to 31, Workshop “Imagination and Dreams” taught by Elizabeth Opalenik. Through various exercises designed to heighten awareness, you will learn to make photographs that express your ideas, dreams, and emotions.

October 26 to 31, Workshop “Photographing People and Culture of San Miguel de Allende” taught by Jennifer Spelman. You will examine the crucial elements of photographing in another culture. The focus is on capturing the authentic and responding confidently with the camera in a variety of different settings and lighting conditions.

November 2 to 7, Workshop “Creative Photography with iPhone” taught by Karen Divine. You will be given exercises to calm the mind, leaving your comfort zone, expanding perspectives, and establishing a sense of playfulness.
